A How to Guide: What It's AboutHearthstone is a massive turn based card game based on the lore found in the series World of Warcraft Games. In the game you battle against either AI or humans with cards. This is what a board looks like. In order to play a card you need to spend mana. Your mana is replenished every turn, and every turn your mana pool grows by one point. For example, if I wanted to play a card that requires 5 mana, 5 mana would be withdrawn from your pool. The goal of the game is to reduce your enemies health to zero.Rarity of CardsThere are 5 types of types of cards, Basic, Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The rarer it is, the more arcane dust you will get from disenchanting it. CraftingIn order to craft, you need arcane dust. Like earlier, the rarer the card is, the more it cost to enchant/disenchant the card.Card EffectsThere are many types of effects that are on a card. Battlecry: Triggers an ability when the minion is played from your handCharge: Lets the minion attack the turn it is placedDeathrattle: An ability is triggered when that minion diesSilence: removes all card effects from the target minionStealth: minions with stealth cannot be attacked directly with spells and attacks until the stealthed minion attacks.
